Here is my code:
var http = require('http');
function onRequest(req, res) {
// do something
}
var server = http.createServer(onRequest);
server.listen(8000);
console.log("The server is now running on " + <<server.address>>);
I want the <> to be something like "http://localhost:8000". How do I do that?
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(8080);
console.log('Server listening:', `http://${server.address().address}:${server.address().port}`);
I think you can use
server.address()#
Added in: v0.1.90 Returns the bound address, the address family name, and port of the server as reported by the operating system. Useful to find which port was assigned when getting an OS-assigned address. Returns an object with port, family, and address properties: { port: 12346, family: 'IPv4', address: '127.0.0.1' }
This should give you your hostname and port on server startup:
var server = require('http').createServer(onRequest);
var port = '8000';
server.listen(port, function(err) {
console.log(err, require('os').hostname()+':'+port);
});
